Seems fine to me. How does this interact with the other boxes we support?

This will be independent of our box dialog/inset because the graphic 
boxes can contain almost everything and these boxes are to modify its 
content while the other boxes are there to either prevent modifications 
like makebox or to decorate the content like framebox.
Furthermore providing also scaling and rotating in the box dialog make 
it overcrowded and we then need to handle dozesns of complicated cases, 
for example when a user only wants a rotation without putting the 
content into a makebox or minipage or he want to put it in a minipage 
and rotate the minipage...

Btw. there exist colored versions of \fbox and \framebox. It is on my 
todo list to add support for that to the existing box dialog/inset but 
this will require much development time I don't have atm.
